Testimonials

Having Inventors & Makers into school was a great experience. The booking process was straightforward and there was communication when needed. For example, clarifying how we wanted the day to work, confirmation of arrival time and timings for each class to attend the workshop. The introduction assembly was informative and the workshop (Year 2 Coding) kept the children's interest as there were a range of activities to do with the bots as well as a story and historical information about the people involved with inventing and developing coding. The children were excited to learn about coding and the interactive workshop gave them the chance to experience how to code as well as problem solving when something didn't work. Thank you for a fantastic day. The children absolutely loved it!

Jacqueline O'Mahony, Bushmead Primary

Exactly what every busy teacher/STEAM lead needs! Communication ahead of our workshop days was clear and timely and on the day of our workshops our facilitator could not have been more adaptable, engaging and interesting! I had so much positive feedback from colleagues who thought Susie was just brilliant! I've also had the pleasure of seeing Inventors & Makers clubs in action across both KS1 and KS2 since September 2024. The sessions are incredibly well-structured, the teaching is of a very high standard, and above all, the children have so much fun. What’s particularly impressive is how popular the KS1 club has been – I’ve never seen a club for that age group with such consistent enthusiasm and excitement from the children each week. A fantastic offering that really stands out!
